I'm sitting at the kitchen table at the
Steeming with two of my favorite people in the world,
Oh, you should all be so lucky!
And...on top of that, I am quenching my thirst
with a refreshing Lemon Tart Turmeric drink.
And...on top of that, I am listening to the conversation and
joyous squeals of two of my other favorite people in the world,
4 year old 
QiQi is perched backwards on the back of a 2-1/2 foot tall stuffed horse,
while Noki is sharing pretend hot cocoa with Barbie and friends.
"We must beware--it's Evil Pants!"
Noki remarks her evil Barbie's name over and over!
I can't help but giggle!
"Barbie has betrayed us!"
"Our pants are now on fire--douse them with water!"
"Let's now put on our fireproof pants!"
Seriously--what 4 year old do you know who uses words like
"Betrayed" - "Douse" - "Fireproof"?
Though I hear their conversations everyday,
I am not immune to being astounded.
Not only do they use words that are far beyond their few short years,
they use them in perfect context too.
Watching children develop is such a delight.
These two particular children are so much more aware of life,
of the possibilities that exist in almost everything,
and are more expressive, open, honest and alive
than anyone I know.
The way we parent has everything to do with the way our children engage their world.
If we squash them before they even get the chance to breathe,
they will already have issues to work through before they can really be
the people they came on this planet to be.
I am witness everyday to the unfolding of their lives,
and the relationship they have built together based on unconditional love.
If you are a parent or are in contact with children,
I encourage you to tune into
and especially his perspective on parenting.
If we want to change the world,
challenging ourselves to become better human beings,
and dedicating our lives to making our children's world the very best it could possibly be
is the best place to start.
“I believe that all problems in the world begin with parenting,
and thus all solutions lie in New Paradigm Parenting.”... @quinneaker
